Ah... yeah that page is wrong now. We definitely require GtkSourceView
in all 3.x Meld releases.

Cool, well this should now be fixed in the 3.13.3 release. This also
involved (by happenstance) a whole GTK+ framework update on Windows,
so if there are any new problems then please bring them up. However,
it looks pretty okay to me and the themeing also appears much
improved.
